First time attending this event. I have heard that this event is saturated with scouts. Are they scouts from all across the country or from schools around Florida and the East Coast. Being from the Dallas/Ft.Worth metroplex, just curious if any scouts show up from the Texas schools.
Thanks!

Yes he does and I believe he met you that first DBAT practice. I did not see your sons name on the upcoming showcase rosters. You guy's gonna make any of the trips?
From what I have seen and heard about your son, he does not need these showcases. I just wish you guy's would have waited another year before moving back to Mckinney. North just keeps reloading!!

Having been part of the event for a number of years now, I can persoanlly tell you that you will never see so many college coaches (JUCO, Division I, II , III) and proscouts in place at the same time.
In addition the level of baseball being played is a joy to observe
That's where I met websters TRHit & BigWI, too. Area Code & Team One folks, BA folks & a number of other writers. You & son will be amazed at the number of recruiters, scouts, etc.
For a true baseball fan - it is as good as it gets.
Enjoy!

TGUF,
Yes, Matt will be at all the showcases. I just forgot to let John know before he sent out that email!!
I saw your son throw against the Tigers and was VERY impressed with his poise, command and mound presence. His pick off move was pretty good as well!
Hope to see you Sunday at College Station.

My son will also be participating. Although it may be a little early in attending this event. I thought it might be good experience in providing a measuring stick for him and his "game". I've told him there's no pressure just to enjoy the experience and give it his best effort. As for mom and dad, we're looking at it as a vacation and we get to watch the kid play some ball.
Well, this is really kinda complicated. Because the travel team that our son played with lost three out of four in Cedar Rapids. We decided to sign him up as a individual and take our chances on him playing with a PG team. Since he never made an appearence in any of the games in Cedar Rapids(we're still not sure why). Well thats not true... we know why, we just won't go there. Playing on a PG team we think will allow him an opportunity to showcase his skills. All I wanted for him was to have the opportunity ... the rest is up to him. I'm sure he will rise to the occasion...his effort has always been top notch.

My son will be playing with the Dirtbags. #33 Jeff May catcher 08 class. My wife Rhonda will be going with him. If any of you get the chance please stop by and say hello to her. She will be the beautifull blonde cheering wildly for all the boys. Good luck to all the boys in Jupiter. And coaches too.
My son, Justin Hunt, will also be playing for the College Select team in Jupiter. He's an '08 3B/Catcher. My husband and I will be there to cheer them on.
